Finding a plumber in Erie should not take an afternoon of phone calls. Plumber Erie gives you one number to call and one short form to fill in. Your request goes to an independent, licensed plumbing business that works in Erie and the towns around it.
How it works
- 1You call or send a request. Tell us what is wrong, where you are, and how urgent it is.
- 2A local plumber calls you back. Your call or request is passed to an independent plumbing business that serves your area. They ask a few questions and arrange a visit.
- 3You get an estimate before work starts. The plumber looks at the problem and tells you the price. You decide whether to go ahead.
Who answers the call
The plumbing business that takes your request is the one that talks to you, gives you the estimate and does the work. If nobody can pick up when you call, leave a message with your name, your phone number, your address or ZIP code and a short description of the problem, and you will get a call back.
Plumber Erie does not do plumbing work itself, and we do not send our own employees to your home. The plumber who comes out works for their own business and sets their own prices.
Why a site just for Erie
Plumbing in Erie has its own problems. Most homes in the city were built before 1960, the city sits in the Lake Erie snow belt, and plumbing licensing is handled by the city rather than the state. We wrote this site to explain those things plainly, so you know what to ask before you hire anyone. Our home page covers local licensing, permits, frozen pipes and emergency steps, and our cost guide covers pricing.
What we ask of the plumbers
We only pass requests to plumbers who are licensed for the work they do in Erie. We ask them to call you back, explain the problem, and give you an estimate before starting. You can and should check any contractor yourself: the City of Erie licenses plumbers working in the city, and most home improvement contractors must register with the Pennsylvania Attorney General, which you can look up at hic.attorneygeneral.gov.
The referral model in plain words
Plumber Erie is a referral service. Calls and requests go to independent, licensed local plumbers. Plumber Erie does not do plumbing work itself. We may be paid by the plumbing business for passing on requests. You pay nothing extra to use this site, and you pay the plumber directly for any work you agree to.
